Team Members, Mike Lewis and Steve LaChaine ROCK the 508!!!!!
Mike "Bone Dog" Lewis quite literally flew along on the course this year giving all the race favorites a run for their money. Bone Dog(Mike Lewis) finished in second place only 19 minutes behind the winner "Crow" in an awesome time of 29 hours 52 minutes. Steve LaChaine also had an excellent race. He and Mike met up and the finish line and had some well deserved high fives. The riders and crews, including Louise Comar and Terry Lentz, had a great time. Just two weeks after the 508, the San Luis Obispo Gran Fondo gave Steve LaChaine a chance to show his cycling versatility, Steve raced around the course fast enough to earn him a 12th place finish overall and, we are told, first place in the category of riders who had a flat tire. Good job, Steve!
----Check out the photo links(of the 508) below to see the riders in action!!
